Time Management 101– Part 1|Beyond Adversity
Among the concerns experienced by survivors and those who have not experienced brain injury first hand, is we are all constrained by the variety of hours in a day. Some people utilize most of their 24 hr sleeping, consuming, sleeping, working, offering, playing, snacking, enjoying television, working out, finding out, or sharing. Other people divide their time uniformly or unevenly among many activities. As described in an earlier post, some people are too overwhelmed by the options that they make no decision about how to invest their time. Despite how you choose to spend your time, there is a possibility you might invest your time more efficiently.
There is plenty of evidence that time management is a significant issue. For example, if you look for the expression ‘time management’ in any of the popular web internet browsers, you will get more than 200 million outcomes. A search on Google lead to 1.94 billion hits. There are countless books, videos, webinars and seminars that attend to the subject of time management. Each time management professional might focus on a specific management strategy, the two truths shared by all the experts consist of a belief that people mishandle their time and a solution to time mismanagement exists.

Prioritize Your Activities
This solution addresses 2 issues– the requirement for a To Do list and a technique for finishing tasks on the list. Numerous people just exist without knowing what they are trying to accomplish. In other words, they either do not have an accurate To Do list or they do not reference the list. In addition, those who have a precise 
To Do list and refer to it routinely may finish activities from their list in order of simplicity or in alphabetical order. The issue with finishing activities in order of simpleness or letter is that you might finish several activities that are not immediate then have no energy to complete the immediate activities.
My recommendations are to:
Strategy for Tomorrow, Today
Prior to you go to sleep each night, produce a focused on To Do list for the next day. This step is very essential because it trains your brain to consider the things you wish to accomplish, it teaches your brain to think in regards to top priorities, and it ensures you have a sensible strategy for the next day from the minute you rise.
Sleep When You are Exhausted
Numerous individuals think that they can simply press forward to complete a task when they are tired. Although this technique might work, it is certainly not a terrific time management technique. When tiredness begins, efficiency drops tremendously. What you might achieve in one hour if you were alert may require several hours to complete if you are tired. A general guideline is you require a minimum of eight hours of sleep every day. If possible, take a short (one hour or less) nap when you are worn out or merely walk away from what you are doing, extend a little, and consider something else. Working just when alert is a good time management strategy.
Concerns
Do you have a written list of activities you want to complete for each day of the week? Does your list consist of just WISE objectives (specific, quantifiable, achievable, practical, and time sensitive)? Have you focused on the activities on your list in regards to urgency? Are you taking a look at your list routinely? Are you planning your day based upon your top priorities? Are you pushing yourself to complete tasks while you are tired or do you sleep when you are tired?
